Chanson à la lune

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: DUT

Lune, joli’ lune, ô lune, lune d’argent, 
Toi qui luis si doucement 
ô lune, joli’ lune, 
Tout là-haut, au firmament, 
Entends pleurer mon tourment 

(refrain) 
Éclaire ma bien aimée infidèle 
De ton pale rayon doré, 
Dis-lui que mon cœur a souffert loin d’elle, 
Et que mes yeux ont pleuré, 
Lune, joli’ lune, ô lune, lune qui luis 

Loin du monde et loin du bruit 
ô lune, joli’ lune, 
En mon cœur, vois, c’est la nuit. 
Entends pleurer mon ennui

Lied aan de maan

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)

Maan, mooie maan, o maan, maan van zilver
Jij die schijnt zo zacht 
o maan, mooie maan 
Heel hoog aan het firmament 
Hoor huilen mijn kwelling 

(refrein) 
Verlicht mijn ontrouwe geliefde 
Met jouw bleke straal van goud 
Zeg haar dat mijn hart heeft geleden ver van haar 
En dat mijn ogen hebben gehuild 

Maan, mooie maan, o maan, maan die schijnt 
Ver van de wereld en ver van rumoer 
o maan, mooie maan 
In mijn hart, kijk, is het nacht 
Hoor huilen mijn levensmoeheid
